I adored him. He always had me cracking up! To me, he was the BEST host for Family Feud ever! That’s too bad. You can NEVER judge a book by its cover.
Poor thing! I know it is not fair to remember him because of his last act. But it saddens me everytime when I read how hopeless these poor people felt in their last moments it seems so cruel. Shame on the facility he was in he should of obviously been taken better care of. I hope his family sued them for neglecting to protect an obvious unbalanced person from harm. It will forever be an injustise if they are not held accountable!!!!
It took me a little while to picture Family Feud without Richard Dawson but Ray Combs eventually grew on me.He was hilarious.What a sad ending but he cemented a legacy of his own.RIP forever
